Lice at Rye Lower Camp

Rye Recreation has reported several cases of lice in more than one of the first grade groups at Lower Camp this week. They are asking parents to check their kids and treat any children found with lice.

Here is their full message sent today:

We have had a few more reported cases of lice in more than one of the 1st grade groups, so we conducted a check of the entire 1st grade.  Please read the attached information and continue to check your child at home. 

If you find that your child does have lice, we ask that you please notify us so we can check your child’s entire camp group.  Additionally, if your child does have lice and completes their treatment, you have to get cleared by our camp nurse (Ninfa) before returning to camp. 

Ninfa is primarily at Milton school with Kiddy Camp but she is responsible for all of our camps.  To get checked by Ninfa you need to make an appointment by calling (914)967-6100 ext.3930.
